"For this work I have revived 5 existing benches around the Bondi - Tamarama walk by adorning them with colourful, vintage polypropylene chair webbing, a la beach chairs and folding aluminium chairs of lesiure. They become a reminder to stop, slow down and ponder how things have changed, and what may have stayed the same."

Ken Unsworth is one of Australia's most recognised sculptors and installation artists. One of his works, Stones Against The Sky has had a controversial presence in Sydney, often derided as "poo on sticks". I quite like it.

I think this may have been my favourite piece this year. (Unfortunately, I'm not all that happy with the photos). As this is just past sunrise, and facing east, the golden tinge is the sun's rays. I have seen photos of this piece at other times of day when it is almost transparent. I love that idea, and it would be fabulous to see it at different times of day, in different lights. It would be afabulous permanent installation, and I hope it finds a suitable, public, home somewhere.

This morning I made my annual sunrise visit to Sculpture By The Sea. Come with me over the next couple of weeks while we explore. I must say I found it a teensy bit underwhelming this year...it was as if some of the artists with whom I have become familiar rummaged in their cupboards and found their second, third, or tenth best works....
